Prebble v Television New Zealand Ltd () 3 NZLR 1 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding claims in defamation and the defence of parliamentary privilege. ==Background== TVNZ's news programme "Frontline" aired a show highly critical of the fourth Labour government and minister Richard Prebble's handling of state asset sales. Prebble found this programme to be defamatory to him, and he sued TVNZ for defamation. As part of TVNZ's defence, they tried to include statements made in Parliament by Prebble as evidence against his claim. Prebble was not happy at facing the prospect of his own words being used against him in court, so he applied to the courts that under article 9 of the Bill of Rights 1688, any statements made in parliament cannot be used in any court. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prebble v Television New Zealand Ltd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
